Treyarch calls Brothers in Arms a crap game.

http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=11656

you can watch the whole video if you want but it basically boils down to:

1) The new COD is AMAZING
2) It is very cinematic OMG CINEMATIC!!
3) Gearbox makes crappy games
4) We didn't even consider looking at the BIA series because it is beneath us.
5) COD is soo much better than BIA which is crap
6) Did we mention that the new COD is amazing? BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!

This makes me lose all faith in the failing developer that is Treyarch. Call of duty 3 was utter balls, the licsense games they make are even worse. What gives them the right to talk trash about a competitor that a) knows how to make a good game and b) Has sold many more copies of their game than treyarch did for COD3.

They seem to be hiding behind the giant that is IW and their COD franchise. The fact they always mention that their game is going to be good because it is made off the COD4 engine proves this. Let me clear this up for you:

COD4 engine is based off the COD2 engine. (they are virtually identical apart from some added effects in COD4 version of the engine).

COD2 engine is a heavily modified ID engine (most people believe it to be the Q4 engine which is a modified Doom 3 engine).

So you can say that there are loads of games based off the code that is in COD4, how many of them are actually good though? Treyarch need to learn to make good games and not rely on their shitty marketing spin to sell their broken products.

Also it is quite funny how IW completely disowns Treyarch like it is some sort of diseased brother.

Yeah COD4 is great, I am talking about COD5 or COD world at war because even Activisons is not dumb enough to call it COD5 incase it completely bombs.

I agree, this whole going back to WWII is a bit strange.
I think it will turn out ok, people are just kind of weird on the idea.

As long as it has solid online play, I think people will be happy.

People keep saying the reason no one is too happy about Call of Duty 5 is because of the fact that it's in WWII. While yes, it's nothing original, I'm most frustrated that it's being made by Treyarch. I care 100% that Treyarch is making the game rather than the fact that it's in WWII.

It's called hyping the game. Developers do it all the time, this is nothing new. Look at Cliffy B., David Jaffe, Peter Molyneux and other big names in the gaming industry. They'll talk about how amazing their game is, how everything else is bad and their game will be the biggest thing ever.

It's marketing, that's all there is to it. Trying to shove doubt onto other franchises isn't a new tactic, this isn't big news, it's typical stuff. I honestly think the only reason that this is a "Big Deal" is because Treyarch doesn't have the best reputation after COD3.

Treyarch has made good games though, just take a look at COD2: Big Red One and COD: United Offensive. Both were excellent COD titles and both were done by Treyarch.

Anyways I'm done. I'm personally looking forward to the fact that it's WWII set in the Pacific rather than more Nazi slaughtering. But, at the same time I'm remaining skeptic and not getting my hopes completely up.

Take it all with a grain of salt m'friend.

They really just rode on the backs of CoD2 to sell 3, and I'm sure they're going to be on the 4 train to sell their shit this time around aswell.
